Emma Hansen | South Island Physiotherapy

Hi, my name is Emma, and I am one of the Physiotherapists at South Island Physiotherapy.

I’m a Victoria‑raised physiotherapist with a lifelong passion for sport, movement, and helping people get back to what they love. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, or looking to improve performance, I will work with you to create a plan that feels achievable, motivating, and tailored to your goals.

I completed my Bachelor of Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, where I built a strong understanding of how the body moves and performs. I went on to earn my Master of Physical Therapy at the University of Saskatchewan, where I developed well‑rounded skills in assessing and treating a wide range of conditions and populations. During my training, I completed a clinical placement at South Island Physiotherapy, which strengthened my interest in active rehab and confirmed how much I enjoy working with this amazing community.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me running, lifting weights, surfing, skiing, golfing, or playing pickleball. Staying active helps me relate to the goals and challenges my patients face and fuels my commitment to helping people return to the activities that matter most to them.

I’m excited to work with you and support your journey toward feeling capable, strong, and ready for whatever comes next.

I have been seeing Alec since before this clinic opened and have always had great professional service and treatment. My son has started working with Keaton and he too has been amazing. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had many years of sore and immovable shoulder and back muscles that my RMT eventually told me to try physio/IMS. I found South Island’s location super convenient and have been a client for several years now given the excellent care from Jason and welcoming atmosphere of the team. My RMT  saw a difference right away and I consider this professional service an essential part of my health and wellbeing.

When diagnosing my injury she clearly explained her assessment, likely and typical causes, and her approach for treatment. She put together an achievable recovery and treatment plan that fit my daily / weekly exercise and activity routines, as well as longer term fitness goals. Jennifer provided feedback and support over several weeks, and adjusted the recovery plan based on my progress.

Her background and knowledge of running was also very helpful and informative when prescribing exercises and movements to help with a return to run program.

Reception staff are all super friendly too!

Kaitlyn is very kind and really takes the time to listen to all of your concerns.  She has come up with a plan and I am excited to continue seeing her.   It is a great facility with easy parking.
